识别和咨询急性艾滋病毒感染（AHI）的个人提供了一个关键的机会，以避免可预防的艾滋病毒传播，但机会，以识别这些人可能会错过。我们调查了32名成年人诊断为AHI自愿艾滋病毒检测从1/1/03至2/28/05在NC的公共资助的测试站点，以描述他们的临床，社会和行为特征。81%的参与者是男性; 59%是非洲裔美国人。75%的人出现了与急性逆转录病毒综合征一致的症状;尽管83%的人因这些症状寻求医疗护理，但只有15%的人在初次就诊时得到了适当的诊断，这表明错过了早期诊断这些人的机会。85%的男性与男性发生性关系。超过50%的参与者认为他们是通过稳定的伴侣感染艾滋病毒的。这项研究产生了重要的信息，以协助确定人群的风险或感染AHI和设计初级和二级预防干预措施。
Identifying and counseling individuals with Acute HIV Infection (AHI) offers a critical opportunity to avert preventable HIV transmission, however opportunities to recognize these individuals may be missed. We surveyed 32 adults diagnosed with AHI during voluntary HIV testing from 1/1/03 to 2/28/05 in publicly funded testing sites in NC to describe their clinical, social, and behavioral characteristics. Eighty-one percent of participants were men; 59% were African American. Seventy-five percent experienced symptoms consistent with acute retroviral syndrome; although 83% sought medical care for these symptoms, only 15% were appropriately diagnosed at that initial medical visit, suggesting opportunities to diagnose these individuals earlier were missed. Eighty-five percent of the men engaged in sex with men. More than 50% of the participants thought they were infected with HIV by a steady partner. This study yields important information to assist in identifying populations at risk for or infected with AHI and designing both primary and secondary prevention interventions.
